People follow this sky sports narrative so consistently that we never challange it? I cant really think of any instances where he is directly to blame for the tide turning or conceeding goals? I'd need some examples there.

Haven't watched many games this season have you?

There are countless examples of us conceding after he or xhaka gifted the ball to the opponent.

No there aren't .... you just make shit up .... and what's Xhaka got to do with it?

Ozil has a higher work-rate than any other player in the Arsenal squad ... in terms of yards covered ... but 90% of that work is done going forward ... that's his feckin' job ....

I should've known it was that #@&£ Andrew peddling this foolish argument.

Andrew is just trolling now, saying we were better under Cesc has got nothing to do with Ozil.

We need a top CB, good RB, dominating DM, a replacement for Sanchez, keep Ozil and we can win the league - but of course the biggest thing we need more than players is a manager that is not a tactical dimwit.
